If you could give your younger self one piece of advice, what would that be?

If I were to give my younger self one piece of advice, it would be to have faith and trust the process. My education and career path have not followed the “traditional path.” My interest in engineering and construction started very young, going to job sites with my dad and helping him, so I knew where I was always going to land. But the path to get there was not straight by any means. I will say it is hard to give myself any advice that would have changed where I am now. Hindsight is 20/20 but I’ve always tried to focus on the next thing while learning from my mistakes and the past.

Who do you count as your greatest mentor(s) that have helped you succeed in your personal and professional life?

I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with and for some incredible people up until now and each of them deserves a little bit of credit for shaping me into the person I am today. A quick short list would be my wife (Kelley), two girls (Kaylyn and Irelyn), my mom and dad and brother, this list could go on and on.

Where do you see yourself and what will you be doing with your life after 40?

Well, at this point I’m not too far away so continuing to grow as a person and leader. Continuing to be a public servant and do what I can to make the community and region better for everybody. Strive to be the best husband and father I can to my two growing girls. Life moves fast so I am doing everything I can not to miss it.
